Using "x86_64" is preferred over "amd64" for arch name #213

If we replace amd64 with x86_64 in the second line here then all of our packaged binaries will get the x86_64 suffix instead of amd64. x86_64 is generally preferred because it is less likely to cause confusion about processor manufacturers.

At least Debian (+Ubuntu) has amd64 as official architecture name and it's a change that would need to happen in every downstream project. Other than that, I'm not opposed.
